duh duh duh Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi, I just got a trojan horse virus notification on the buy/sell forum. I don't know how these viruses work, if someone has planted one on the site, in someone's post, or if it is nothing to do with the site at all. I just thought I'd pass it along in case it does though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanker Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Rather curious about this, myself. There are no uploads on this site except for photos, and those should be fairly safe (should being the operative word as those int he know may recall jpegs having viruses a while back). That should have been addressed, but if there is a new threat then I certainly want to provide security to our members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I too have experienced a 'Shaw Secure' pop up saying it detected a trojan virus while perusing the buy & sell part of the forum. Twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 There was a member whose off site avatar was infected. However, to the best of my knowledge this has been taken care of. If you get another notice, please send me a PM and tell me what thread this is happening in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happeboy Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Shaw Secure sucks. That may be a simple answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Actually, Shaw Secure is a capable program with just as many features and flaws as any other program... they all seem to have their own quirks and complications. But some measure of protection is better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
